Question

The average of the salaries of Ali, Asghar and Arshid is Rs. 24000. If
Asghar earns Rs. 10000 more than Ali and Arshid's salary is Rs. 2000
more than twice of Ali's salary, find the salary of each person.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the salary of Ali be Rs a.

As Asghar earns Rs 10,000 more than that of Ali.

Asghar's salary should be Rs 10,000 + a.

Also, Arshid's salary is 2000 + twice of Ali's salary.

So,

Salary of Ali is Rs a

Salary of Asghar is Rs 10000 + a

Salary of Arshid is Rs 2000 + 2a

Average salary = Rs 24000

→ ( total salary ) / 3 = 24000

→ ( a + a + 10000 + 2000 + 2a ) / 3 = 24000

→ 4a + 12000 = 3 * 24000 = 72000

→ 4a = 72000 - 12000

→ 4a = 60000

→ a = 15000

Hence,

Salary of Ali = Rs 15000

Salary of Asghar = Rs 15000 + Rs 10000 = 25000

Salary of Arshid = Rs 30000 + Rs 2000 = Rs 32000
